Late in the summer of 1807, in the very refulgence of Napoleon's domination of Europe, crews and ships have gone missing on the wild fringes of the Scottish coast. Several vessels, devoid of life, run aground on the western shores of Great Britain, while others are spotted drifting as ghosts on the waves of the North Atlantic.Alarmed by the mystery, and suspecting foreign intervention, the Admiralty appoints a talented young signals officer to educe the source of the troubles, and root it out by hook or crook. In Lieutenant Jeremiah Anthony Blackmarsh's first enterprising errand for Command, he sets out to resolve the mystery. Tracking the ghost of a clew and local legend, he learns of a mystical race of Blue Men. Could these be responsible for the discord, or is it due to an entirely different cauldron of fish altogether?Come ye now to the wild North on Inspector Jeremiah Anthony Blackmarsh's first adventure, and discover that, which is the Sinister Affair of the Blue Men.
